Brendan Rodgers said that Celtic would look for a “complete package” during the January transfer window, with a switch involving two players being evaluated.In his search for the “complete package” in that area, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has disclosed that the team will want a midfielder with hustle and bite in January.Reo Hatate has been operating alongside Callum McGregor and Matt O’Riley while sidelined due to a long-term injury. He is not expected to return until the new year due to a thigh ailment. As a result, he has been rotating between David Turnbull, Paolo Bernardo, Odin Thiago Holm, and Tomoki Iwata.
He hasn’t gotten what he wants from any of his three central area staff from any of the possibilities that are accessible. Speaking as his club gets ready for Hibs’ visit on Wednesday night, the Irishman hinted that he will consider moving McGregor up from his deep-lying position and using Iwata, who hasn’t started a game this season, in that role because to the rigorous schedule he has over the next month.
One of the areas of the team that I want to see improvement is midfield. One of our strongest players, David, is someone we have when we’re attempting to nick a goal since he plays well against low blocks. It’s possible that navigating the pitch is a weakness. You need to be able to run when you enter Champions League games. Paolo has therefore participated in those games. Really, it’s about locating that kind of all-inclusive package. Although Callum has been playing that deeper role for a while, I’ve considered [advancing him]. If Tomo had been available, he would have played for Lazio; instead, he was left out [since he was not included in the UEFA squad list].
